oh and a bit inconsistent with their batting order...not sure if others have been shuffled around much but shuvagata has been pushed all over the place in the order, opened last match and he's not come to the crease yet in this match with 2 down already. makes it hard for a batsman to perform when his position is jostled so often, better off sticking them in one slot for awhile then they learn what to do in that position.

The guy had a terrible season.
Just scored a century last game, lets give him some breathing space.
Would be too tough to expect back to back century from an out of form batsman.
Even if he can score a half century, I'd be more than happy.

That's the big problem we face for our top order in Tests. in the shorter forms, we can bump Shakib at #3 but in Tests, it would be too much to ask for. So we need a specialist #3 there. Question is who will be there? If Anamul bats there then who opens? I'm afraid whoever we go with, it'll be a selection we will not like but will have to live with
